Player of the Match
Tim Seifert | Melbourne Renegades
The wicket had a little bit in it, more up and down, but yeah, I think we batted well throughout the whole innings and we had wickets in hand, which always helps on this kind of ground. It was a big one.
I’d say I’ve been out the last six weeks with a broken finger, so this was kind of my first game back, and yeah, it’s always nice to have a knock like that after a bit of an injury and gives you confidence for the rest of the tournament as well.
It was definitely up there. As you said before, I don’t think it was full flowing, but yeah, no, a 100 is 100 in T20 cricket, and the main thing, we got the win as well, so it’s always great. I think, yeah, they took it down to the wire.
I think Hassan’s run out early on in the innings, was a huge wicket for us, and it only takes a couple of balls for them to hit it over the rope, and it’s fully game on, but yeah, I think the boys did well, and you know, it’s always nice to kind of blow out the cobwebs a little bit from a T20 point of view for batting and bowling.
(on him not fielding) Yeah, no concerns, and definitely not that kind of player as well, just gets runs, but yeah, just a slight niggle, and they just wanted me to take it easy. Obviously, a long tournament ahead, so yeah, no dramas.
(on Peake) Yeah, I saw a little bit of him last year, but yeah, unbelievable knock from him tonight, and you know, he’s obviously not here with us for the full tournament. He has Australia coming up, but yeah, he’s a great player now, and he’ll be a great one for the future.
